Ms Word request..


Question

Hy. I have 2 questions related to Microsoft Word (2010)

1. Is there any chance to start numbering pages from .. page 4? So the first ones to be blank in terms of numbering?

2. Is there any chance to move outside the border the numbering ?

 

Thanks for any suggestion!

Go to the page that you want the numbering to begin, and click the page number.

 

In header/footer tools tab, click Page Number > Format Page Numbers, and tell it to start from whatever you want. You may need some section break beforehand - I'm not sure.

 

Otherwise, post the document in question and we can make the necessary modifications.

I have quickly looked at your Word file, and you definitely need to work with section breaks or learn how to use them instead of using the Enter key to insert line feeds, and jump pages. Then use headings properly to use the automatic TOC (Table of contents) of Word to create your own TOC. You do not enter that by hand.

This is basically a huge mess - I will try and add enough filler to demonstrate how breaks work in a way that you can swap in your own content.

 

Edit: Modified sample attached. I'm trying to demonstrate usage of the heading styles (tells Word that these mark structural elements of the document, assign Heading 1 to title, Heading 2 to chapter titles, Heading 3 to chapter subsections, etc), and section breaks, which further assist Word in figuring out what your document structure is intended to be.

Isn't a pain if I start my writing with contents table as that word.file is? Will become a pain to reverse procedure and link every single header..etc

Not at all. 

Look at this corrected sample file. 

 

TURN ON the "Show all nonprinted characters", it's this button in the toolbar [ ? ] : You will see the page breaks, the section breaks, the pagination, etc.

 

 

You create the heading properly, and update the TOC at the very end. Everything will be created accordingly.

I always add my TOC after the document is written - Word automatically generates one based on how you use Headers and sections, and includes all the correct page numbers. Two clicks, and then some formatting fluff if you want.

I create it at the beginning, and only update it when it's done. 
 
The reason is simple: the different page breaks and sections are created right then and there. No need to fiddle with that at the end.

You need to properly use the formatting toolbox or the formatting pane (or whatever they call it in your version of MS Word) to create consistent headings, texts, and everything else.

 

This is the Mac version. The Windows version will probably sit in the left-hand side sidebar.

Take it easy! Go simple. No need to over complicate your page numbering.

No it's really easy to do. You just tick a box when inserting the page numbering.

Make sure that you created the section properly. This is probably happening because the roman numbering starts and ends depending on the footer.

To start the roman numbering before the current place, move the section break to the previous page.

To stop the roman numbering, you need to insert a section break. Go to the page where the roman numbering should stop. Double click in the footer of that page to edit it. And now, in the ribbon menu, select the header and footer tab (should probably be green). In the options before you, make sure that the "Link to previous" is not active. That should do it if the sections are properly set.

Don't forget to update the WHOLE table of contents at the end.
